An insider revealed that it was a "hard pill" for Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles to swallow. He added that initially, Charles was angry and ranting that the throne was his right. Later, he understood that it was the "best for the crown to skip a generation, for the sake of keeping the royal family relevant and vital," Hollywood Life reported.
"They're (Kate Middleton and Prince Williams were) stunned," a palace source told OK! . He added that the couple was surprised by Queen Elizabeth II's decision to step down. But, the idea of bypassing aside Prince Charles for the "good of monarchy" had left them bemused.

However, no official statement has been made yet, a source told the Venture Capitalist Post that Queen Elizabeth II's abdication was most likely to happen after her 90th birthday celebrations. Reports said that the coronation may possibly take place in April 2016 at Westminster Abbey, the same church where Kate and William tied the knot.
